INTEGO, the biggest name in anti-virus software for the Macintosh, has released a new version of its award-winning VirusBarrier software.

This latest version provides armour plated protection against viruses (of which there are a growing number aimed at Macs) and malware.

In fact, there are more than 100 new features – an impressive boast when VirusBarrier X5 was so good.

The software installs quickly and is pretty invisible in normal day-to-day operation. Scanning times seem to have been speeded up quite a bit. A full scan of my iMac with X5 took around two hours – that was reduced to about 90 minutes with X6.

VirusBarrier X6 is the gold standard for protection.

The latest version also comes bundled a case-hardened firewall and anti-phishing protection.

Of course, anti-virus software is only as good as the latest updates. I'm happy to report Intego stand behind its products – updates are full automatic and come fast 'n frequent.

It's still true to say that you're less likely to encounter a virus with a Macintosh but OSX is no longer immune to infections so it makes sense to take precautions.

VirusBarrier X6 is the gold standard for protection. With this on your machine you can rest easy.

The standard package protects two machines and costs £47.78 including 12 months of updates. For more info visit intego.com.
